LG develops PHOLED panels, mass production coming

Grim5 · 23 Aug 2024 at 15:17

As announced today by LG; they claim to have successfully produced the first PHOLED screens - these new screens use phosphorescent LEDs instead of fluorescent
LEDs used by WOLED AND QD-OLED.

LG says with this technology they can make OLED panels that are a minimum of 25% more energy efficient than current OLED TVs

No mention of how this is affected by screen burn - surely that (other than cost) is one of the main barriers for many?

I'd love an OLED TV, but as long as burn-in is a thing, I'm staying well away, as I know the kids would ruin it months leaving their shows and games paused for hours on end

It's true since my kid was born my LG BX has really gone downhill

According to this, LG says panel life is expected to be the same because LG is using these breakthroughs to push brightness.

In addition to the new LED, LG says it can also stack panels - as in a TV where it actually has two OLED panels and these two technologies together can massively boost brightness

It's worth that indirectly these TVs will have better burning resistance anyway - because if they can make a super bright TV and claim it's got good life, then you can just reduce the brightness to the level you are accustomed to and enjoy significantly lifespan improvements. For example I don't like going over 1000nits it's too much for me, so if LG has a 4000nit TV, and I set the brightness to 25% (1000nits) then that massively reduces the risk of burn in

When my c3 pauses it has a screensaver

Price is still by far the biggest barrier, the masses got used to TV`s getting cheaper and cheaper and then OLED comes along and we are back in the dark ages where TV`s were a horrible bill.

If they were anywhere near the price of LED they would sell in massive numbers regardless of worries about burn in.

That is my opinion anyway, simply too expensive although that is improving year on year now.
Hopefully some new cheaper better tech gets developed and OLED can get stuffed.

For all inputs?

My CX only has a screensaver for in built apps. My 4k spinner offers a screensaver too. If I pause live tv however, no screensaver.

Agreed I’d love an OLED TV but the cost is more than I’m comfortable paying. Screen burn didn’t put me of a plasma back in the day!
